L'invention concerne un bâti de support métallique de nature rigide obtenu en alliage léger, par exemple du "zamak", par coulée sous pression en un seul et unique format qui est conçu et développé de manière simple pour être assemblé l'un à l'autre au moyen de dentures symétriques qui sont imbriquables complémentairement et alternativement, deux à deux, à fin d'assurer une multicombinaison dans un sens linéaire horizontal ou vertical, ou horizontal et vertical; en s'entrecroisant dans n'importe quelle projection ortho-réticulaire.The invention relates to a rigid metal support frame obtained from light alloy, for example "zamak", by die-casting in a single format which is designed and developed in a simple manner to be assembled one by one.

Le bâti-support métallique pour appareils ou mécanismes électriques que propose l'invention est conçu intérieurement, de préférence, pour les mécanismes modulaires que propose le Brevet Nº 545.782 en Espagne "UN SYSTEME MODULAIRE UNIQUE POUR LA FABRICATION DE PETIT MATERIEL ELECTRIQUE", no 3620416 en Allemagne; no 8607861 en France; nº 1197778 en Italie; nº 83108 au Portugal; de la demanderesse répond plus concrètement à la version donnée dans le Modèle d'Utilité no 293035/8 pour un "CADRE-BATI POUR MODULES INVARIABLES PORTE-MECANISMES" en Espagne, dont est également titulaire la demanderesse, de sorte que la solution que propose l'invention concerne principalement les caractéristiques externes du bâti-support que lui confèrent les moyens indiqués dans les paragraphes de l'exposé qui précède.The metal support frame for electrical devices or mechanisms offered by the invention is designed internally, preferably, for the modular mechanisms offered by Patent No. 545,782 in Spain. "A UNIQUE MODULAR SYSTEM FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF SMALL ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT", no. 3620416 in Germany; no 8607861 in France; n ° 1197778 in Italy; nº 83108 in Portugal; of the plaintiff responds more concretely to the version given in Utility Model no. the invention mainly relates to the external characteristics of the support frame which the means indicated in the paragraphs of the foregoing description give it.
Une solution latérale d'assemblage de supports pour appareils électriques est offerte par le Brevet Français nº 90.09452 de LEGRAND-FR. pour un "SUPPORT POUR APPAREIL ELECTRIQUE". Bien que dans ce dernier, principalement dans le résumé, il s'agit en essence d'une rainure brisée pcur le montage du support sur la boîte. En faisant allusion de manière réitérée dans le texte descriptif et dans la revendication 10, à des languettes latérales (22) saillantes, en surplomb et alternativement échelonnées dans le bâti (13), dans des positions inverses desdites languettes (22) dotées, respectivement, de tétons (24) et d'un évidage borgne (25) qui sont supposés être respectivement et inversement encastrables dans des encastrements (23) disposés inversement.A lateral solution for assembling supports for electrical devices is offered by French Patent No. 90.09452 from LEGRAND-FR. for a "SUPPORT FOR ELECTRICAL APPLIANCE". Although in the latter, mainly in the summary, it is essentially a broken groove pcur the mounting of the support on the box. Referring repeatedly in the descriptive text and in
Ce support (13) est un bâti métallique laminaire estampé, doté d'une certaine élasticité pour pouvoir assurer l'encastrement entre supports. La disposition n'admet pas plus d'une association linéaire, dans un seul sens des supports. La nature laminaire du support prive le bâti d'une certaine rigidité dont il a besoin, par ailleurs, pour l'encastrement. Cette version exige un format atypique de support rendant obligatoire la disposition des rainures latérales pour le montage, objet principal dudit Brevet.This support (13) is a stamped laminated metal frame, endowed with a certain elasticity to be able to ensure the embedding between supports. The layout does not admit more than one linear association, in one direction of the supports. The laminar nature of the support deprives the frame of a certain rigidity which it needs, moreover, for embedding. This version requires an atypical format of support making it compulsory to arrange the lateral grooves for mounting, the main object of the said Patent.
L'association entre supports requiert une mise face à face très précise du fait de la petitesse des languettes (22) et, plus encore, des moyens d'encastrement (24) (25), ce qui fait qu'une légère altération de la surface, de l'alignement ou de la position des boîtes entraîne un désajustement net de ceux-ci et rend difficile, voire impossible, leur accouplement.The association between supports requires a very precise face to face setting because of the smallness of the tongues (22) and, moreover, embedding means (24) (25), so that a slight alteration of the surface, of the alignment or of the position of the boxes results in a net misalignment of these and makes it difficult, if not impossible, to couple them.
Les limitations de l'épaisseur (laminaire) du support font obligatoirement que les moyens d'encastrement (24-25) pénètrent à peine les uns dans les autres. A toutes fins utiles, l'encastrement s'avère fragile et toute pression, toute excentricité ou toute cause analogue provoquera à n'en pas douter son désajustement.The limitations of the (laminar) thickness of the support necessarily mean that the embedding means (24-25) hardly penetrate into each other. For all intents and purposes, the embedding proves fragile and any pressure, any eccentricity or any similar cause will undoubtedly cause its imbalance.
En référence au brevet FR-A-2549168 mentionné dans le rapport de recherche, sa revendication 1 définit un alignement de crochets (8, 9), alternativement placés de part et d'autre d'un plan médian, qui est parallèle au plan de la saillie périphérique considérée envers lequel les ouvertures (11, 12) de ces crochets sont orientées, de manière à former une charnière avec les crochets complémentaires.With reference to patent FR-A-2549168 mentioned in the search report, its claim 1 defines an alignment of hooks (8, 9), alternately placed on either side of a median plane, which is parallel to the plane of the peripheral projection considered towards which the openings (11, 12) of these hooks are oriented, so as to form a hinge with the complementary hooks.
Il découle du brevet FR-A-2545168 que:
- a): Les éléments d'ancrages disposés aux bords des pièces ne sont pas communs à toutes les pièces (figure 3).
- b): Ces éléments d'ancrage ont une disposition monolinéaire en une position intermédiaire par rapport aux bords de la plaque;
- c): Lesdits éléments d'ancrage ont des configurations très spécifiques pour accrochage des plaques entre elles par reguidage horizontal;
- d): De tels éléments d'accrochage, lors de l'assemblage, montrent une plaque en forme de "queue d'aronde";
- e): Lesdits moyens d'accrochage sont disposés en relation adjacente avec les coins de la plaque; coupés pour faciliter l'entrée pour assemblage horizontal des plaques entre elles.
- a): The anchoring elements arranged at the edges of the parts are not common to all the parts (Figure 3).
- b): These anchoring elements have a monolinear arrangement in an intermediate position relative to the edges of the plate;
- c): Said anchoring elements have very specific configurations for hooking the plates together by horizontal reguidage;
- d): Such attachment elements, during assembly, show a plate in the form of a "dovetail";
- e): Said hooking means are arranged in adjacent relation with the corners of the plate; cut to facilitate entry for horizontal assembly of the plates together.
Le brevet allemand DE-A-2926078 concerne également des moyens d'assemblage entre le châssis ayant également une forme en queue d'aronde qui:
- a): sont situés de manière alternative et répétée sur chaque bord;
- b): sont développés dans le même plan que le châssis avec le même procédé que celui-ci, c.à.d., ils sont frappés sur la plaque elle-même;
- c): L'entourage de la plaque est en alternance formé par les saillants des parties mâles de l'ancrage, le bord étant, par conséquent, irrégulier.
- a): are located alternately and repeatedly on each edge;
- b): are developed in the same plane as the chassis with the same process as this one, ie, they are struck on the plate itself;
- c): The surround of the plate is alternately formed by the projections of the male parts of the anchor, the edge being, therefore, irregular.

Une idée tout aussi essentielle de l'invention est de proposer des moyens d'assemblage pour l'association ccmbinée du support unique précité qui permet, en plus, d'en assurer l'imbrication, de les assembler même une fois le précédent monté grâce à la possibilité d'assemblage par approche latérale des moyens d'assemblage.An equally essential idea of the invention is to propose assembly means for the combined combination of the aforementioned single support which makes it possible, in addition, to ensure the nesting, to assemble them even after the previous one mounted thanks the possibility of assembly by lateral approach of the assembly means.
L'invention se propose de déterminer que l'assemblage soit assuré tant dans le sens linéaire-transversal que dans le sens horizontal et dans le sens vertical.The invention proposes to determine that the assembly is provided both in the linear-transverse direction as in the horizontal direction and in the vertical direction.
De même, une idée complémentaire de l'invention est de disposer de moyens simples mais stratégiques d'emboîtage à force pour les cadres embellisseurs, notamment des appuis équidistants servant de guide des touches ou boutons-poussoirs sur les mécanismes les comportant: interrupteurs, commutateurs, sonneries, etc. et/ou, naturellement de moyens tels que rainures mixtes ccmmunes, guides ou combinaisons des deux pour le passage des moyens de fixation du bâti aux boîtes de raccordement encastrées.Similarly, a complementary idea of the invention is to have simple but strategic means of force fitting for the beautifying frames, in particular equidistant supports serving as a guide for the keys or push-buttons on the mechanisms comprising them: switches, switches , ringtones, etc. and / or, of course, means such as joint joint grooves, guides or combinations of the two for the passage of the means for fixing the frame to the embedded connection boxes.
Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, il s'agit en essence d'un bâti "unique" au format quadrangulaire symétrique, à structure rigide en matériaux métalliques, notamment un alliage léger: du "zamak", moulée par coulée sous pression, le bâti étant délimité périmétralement par quatre côtés réguliers et égaux, qui sont coupés en leurs angles adjacents respectifs et dont les bords externes sont dotés essentiellement de moyens d'imbrication et d'assemblage. Une autre caractéristique de l'invention est que les moyens externes d'assemblage sont égaux et complémentaires les uns par rapport aux autres -dans le sens des aiguilles d'une montre- tandis que les moyens qui se font face diamétralement sont inversement opposés, deux à deux. Cet agencement permet, en faisant tourner le bâti objet de l'invention de 90º, de mettre le cadre dans la position d'assemblage appropriée par rapport à un autre bâti monté auparavant et, en garantissant la symétrie de l'ensemble, d'homogénéiser la répétition desdits bâtis dans la quantité d'alignement requise, soit horizontale ou verticale, soit horizontale et verticale entrecroisée dans n'importe quelle version ortho-réticulaire requise.According to a characteristic of the invention, it is essentially a "single" frame in a symmetrical quadrangular format, with a rigid structure of metallic materials, in particular a light alloy: "zamak", molded by pressure casting, the frame being delimited perimeter by four regular and equal sides, which are cut at their respective adjacent angles and whose external edges are essentially provided with means of nesting and assembly. Another characteristic of the invention is that the external means of assembly are equal and complementary with respect to each other - in a clockwise direction - while the means which face one another diametrically are opposite, two together. This arrangement allows, by rotating the frame object of the invention by 90º, to put the frame in the appropriate assembly position relative to another frame previously mounted and, ensuring the symmetry of the assembly, to homogenize repeating said frames in the required amount of alignment, either horizontal or vertical, or horizontal and vertical crisscrossed in any required ortho-reticular version.
Une autre caractéristique des moyens externes d'assemblage de l'invention est qu'ils sont disposés centralement pour assurer l'imbrication dans le sens latéral suivant des coordonnées -horizontale et verticale- et aux extrémités, pour assurer l'imbrication dans le sens vertical, en dessus et en dessous, inversement. Ces moyens sont divisés à ces fins en quatre espaces de même dimension, ce qui donne pour résultat huit points d'assemblage, deux en haut, deux en bas et quatre latéraux (deux en haut et deux en bas).Another characteristic of the external assembly means of the invention is that they are arranged centrally to ensure nesting in the lateral direction along coordinates - horizontal and vertical - and at the ends, to ensure nesting in the vertical direction , above and below, conversely. These means are divided for these purposes into four spaces of the same dimension, which results in eight assembly points, two at the top, two at the bottom and four at the sides (two at the top and two at the bottom).
Une autre caractéristique est que lesdits moyens externes d'assemblage ont une section verticale équivalente à la moitié de l'épaisseur du côté du bâti et comportent deux dents centrales, à mi-épaisseur, et deux dents externes à mi-épaisseur, inverses, l'une avec l'espace en dessus et l'autre en dessous. Cette disposition ou agencement permet l'accouplement de bâtis à d'autres par simple approche latérale, même si le précédent se trouve monté, mi-monté ou non monté.Another characteristic is that said external assembly means have a vertical section equivalent to half the thickness of the side of the frame and comprise two central teeth, half-thickness, and two external teeth, half-thickness, reverse, one with the space above and the other below. This arrangement or arrangement allows the coupling of frames to others by simple lateral approach, even if the previous one is mounted, half-mounted or not mounted.
Une autre caractéristique de l'invention est que la confluence des côtes symétriques du bâti est dépourvue d'angles saillants et présente des angles rentrants analogues (concaves) qui facilitent l'accouplement dans chaque assemblage, même si l'approche des bords à assembler ne se dirige pas unidirectionnellement ou de face, cette approche pouvant être faite de manière excentrique ou latéralement au cas où un obstacle ou une cause quelconque s'opposerait à la première approche.Another characteristic of the invention is that the confluence of the symmetrical ribs of the frame is devoid of salient angles and has similar re-entrant angles (concave) which facilitate coupling in each assembly, even if the approach of the edges to be assembled does not is not directed unidirectionally or from the front, this approach can be made eccentrically or laterally in the event that an obstacle or any cause opposes the first approach.
Une autre caractéristique de l'invention est que les côtes symétriques du bâti ont un plan superficiel présentant, tangentiellement aux sommets concaves de chaque coin du bâti et adossés aux arêtes du rebord concentrique du cadre pour les appareils ou mécanismes électriques, des moyens spéciaux de fixation du cadre embellisseur, plus concrètement des tétons cylindriques coniformes à conicité inversée et pourvus d'une entaille très mince de verrcuillage dans une zone proche de la tête.Another characteristic of the invention is that the symmetrical ribs of the frame have a surface plane having, tangentially to the concave tops of each corner of the frame and leaning against the edges of the concentric edge of the frame for electrical devices or mechanisms, special means of fixing of the embellisher frame, more concretely cylindrical conical nipples with inverted conicity and provided with a very thin notch of locking in an area close to the head.
Une autre caractéristique de l'invention est que les côtes symétriques du bâti ont un plan superficiel qui contient principalement des saillies (quatre saillies) qui émergent verticalement du chant desdits côtés, dans une disposition régulière et concrète, et qui sont des points de pivotement, de centrage et de butée pour les touches (boutons-poussoirs) des mécanismes.Another characteristic of the invention is that the symmetrical ribs of the frame have a surface plane which mainly contains protrusions (four protrusions) which emerge vertically from the edge of said sides, in a regular and concrete arrangement, and which are pivot points, centering and stop for the keys (push buttons) of the mechanisms.
Une autre caractéristique de l'invention, selon une variante de réalisation, propose des moyens d'assemblage latéral, également symétriques et respectivement inversés suivant leurs côtés se faisant face réciproquement, selon un agencement d'éléments bouvetés d'assemblage vertical, de préférence, pourvu de deux éléments sur chaque côté mâle et femelle, respectivement, au profil ou section en "queue d'aronde" et, de préférence, avec des ajustements latéraux à facettes ou biseautés.Another characteristic of the invention, according to an alternative embodiment, proposes lateral assembly means, also symmetrical and respectively reversed along their sides facing each other, according to an arrangement of elements vertical assembly trusses, preferably provided with two elements on each male and female side, respectively, with a profile or "dovetail" section and, preferably, with faceted or bevelled side adjustments.

En référence aux illustrations précédentes et, de préférence, à la représentation de la figure 1, le bâti modulaire rigide et métallique est une pièce (1) au format quadrangulaire régulier dont tous les côtes (9) (10) (11) et (12) sont symétriques et égaux les uns par rapport aux autres, avec un creux ou évidement concentrique (2) doté intérieurement de moyens (3) pour le montage des blocs porte-mécanismes, entouré par un rebord élevé (5) représentant, sur cette représentation, des tétons cylindriques (6), proches et tangents à ses arêtes, qui font fonction d'ancrages mâles pour la fixation des cadres embellisseurs (non représentés).With reference to the preceding illustrations and, preferably, to the representation of FIG. 1, the rigid and metallic modular frame is a part (1) in regular quadrangular format including all the dimensions (9) (10) (11) and (12 ) are symmetrical and equal relative to each other, with a concentric recess or recess (2) internally provided with means (3) for mounting the mechanism-holding blocks, surrounded by a high flange (5) representing, in this representation, cylindrical pins ( 6), close and tangent to its edges, which act as male anchors for fixing the embellishing frames (not shown).
Ce sont des ancrages mâles (6) cylindriques à projection coniforme inversée (la plus grande base en haut) présentant une encoche ou entaille très fine (6a) pour le verrouillage des moyens d'ancrage des cadres embellisseurs complémentaires.These are cylindrical male anchors (6) with inverted coniform projection (the largest base at the top) having a notch or very fine notch (6a) for locking the anchoring means of the complementary embellishing frames.
Le plan superficiel desdits côtés (9) (10) (11) et (12) montre les rainures mixtes (8) pour les moyens de fixation du bâti (1) sur la boîte de raccordement (non représentée) et, tout spécialement, des chants desdits bords ou côtés (9) (10) (11) (12) émergent des saillies ou épaulements verticaux (7) au profil étoilé irrégulier, quatre saillies (7) en disposition régulière en croisillon qui font fonction de point de pivotement, de centrage et d'appui des touches ou boutons-poussoirs (non représentés) des mécanismes électriques.The surface plan of said sides (9) (10) (11) and (12) shows the mixed grooves (8) for the means for fixing the frame (1) to the connection box (not shown) and, especially, edges of said edges or sides (9) (10) (11) (12) emerge from the protrusions or vertical shoulders (7) with an irregular star profile, four protrusions (7) in regular spider arrangement which act as pivot point, centering and pressing of keys or push-buttons (not shown) of the electrical mechanisms.
Les bords externes des côtés symétriques (9) (10) (11) et (12) du bâti (1) sont en essence principalement munis des moyens d'assemblage objet de l'invention. Ceux-ci sont des éléments saillants et rentrants symétriques alternatifs égaux les uns par rapport aux autres, dans le sens des aiguilles d'un montre, marqués cu repérés par les flèches (X) mais inversés, deux à deux, suivant les côtés diamétralement opposés (9-11) et (10-12).The outer edges of the symmetrical sides (9) (10) (11) and (12) of the frame (1) are in essence mainly provided with the assembly means object of the invention. These are salient and re-entrant symmetrical reciprocals equal to each other, clockwise, marked cu identified by the arrows (X) but reversed, two by two, along the diametrically opposite sides. (9-11) and (10-12).
Les moyens d'assemblage, situés à différents niveaux, en haut (14-15) et en bas (16-17), sont composés d'une section verticale équivalent à la moitié de l'épaisseur du côté symétrique respectif (9) (10) (11) ou (12) du bâti (1). Les saillies inférieures (16-17) sont des encastrements échelonnés à mi-épaisseur dont l'espace (18) est en haut, tandis que les saillies supérieures (14-15) ont l'espace (19) en bas.The assembly means, located at different levels, at the top (14-15) and at the bottom (16-17), are composed of a vertical section equivalent to half the thickness of the respective symmetrical side (9) ( 10) (11) or (12) of the frame (1). The lower projections (16-17) are mid-thickness staggered recesses, the space (18) at the top, while the upper projections (14-15) have the space (19) at the bottom.
Les moyens d'assemblage (14-15) (16-17) sont seulement séparés par les saillies de pivotement (7). Les moyens d'assemblage saillants (14-15) (16-17) ont les mêmes dimensions, aussi bien en long qu'en large (fond) et la même épaisseur, avec seulement les tolérances mécaniques propres à tout ajustement pour que l'assemblage se réalise convenablement.The assembly means (14-15) (16-17) are only separated by the pivoting projections (7). The projecting assembly means (14-15) (16-17) have the same dimensions, both long and wide (bottom) and the same thickness, with only the mechanical tolerances proper to any adjustment so that the assembly is carried out properly.
Toutefois, les moyens saillants supérieurs (14-15) présentent latéralement des parties rentrantes ou encoches d'encastrement (20) et (21) respectivement, pour une meilleure imbrication des empiétements réciproques entre bâtis, les moyens saillants inférieurs (16-17) ayant des parties rentrantes ou encastrements angulaires (20a) (21a) aux même fins que les précédentes.However, the upper salient means (14-15) have laterally re-entrant parts or embedding notches (20) and (21) respectively, for better nesting of reciprocal encroachments between frames, the lower salient means (16-17) having re-entrant parts or angular recesses (20a) (21a) for the same purposes as the previous ones.
De la sorte, l'imbrication de l'assemblage entre les moyens saillants supérieurs (14-15) et les encastrements latéraux (20-21) et les moyens saillants inférieurs (16-17) et les encastrements latéraux (20a-21a) assurent l'assemblage dans le sens latéral des bâtis (1) et l'imbrication entre les espaces (18-19) des moyens saillants (14 et 15) (16 et 17) respectivement, assurent l'assemblage dans le sens vertical en immobilisant la joncticn des bâtis (1) calculée en fonction des caractéristiques rigides de la pièce.In this way, the interlocking of the assembly between the upper protruding means (14-15) and the lateral recesses (20-21) and the lower protruding means (16-17) and the lateral recesses (20a-21a) ensure the assembly in the lateral direction of the frames (1) and the nesting between the spaces (18-19) of the projecting means (14 and 15) (16 and 17) respectively, ensure the assembly in the vertical direction by immobilizing the junction of the frames (1) calculated according to the rigid characteristics of the part.
Un exemple dudit assemblage de trois bâtis (1A) (1B) et (1C) dans deux sens est montré sur la figure 2. Les flèches (a-a) et (b-b) montrent l'approche frontale des bâtis (1A) (1B) et (1C) tandis que les flèches (e) et (f) montrent l'emboîtage ou ajustement vertical de l'assemblage, et les flèches (h) et (i) définissent le travail dans le sens latéral -horizontal et vertical- de l'assemblage.An example of said assembly of three frames (1A) (1B) and (1C) in two directions is shown in FIG. 2. The arrows (aa) and (bb) show the frontal approach of the frames (1A) (1B) and (1C) while the arrows (e) and (f) show the fitting or vertical adjustment of the assembly, and the arrows (h) and (i) define the work in the lateral direction - horizontal and vertical - of the 'assembly.
La figure 3 montre une vue en plan en perspective de l'assemblage des bâtis (1A) (1B) et (1C).Figure 3 shows a perspective plan view of the assembly of the frames (1A) (1B) and (1C).
L'approche desdits bâtis (1A) (1B) et leur accouplement sont facilités par l'absence d'angles saillants des bâtis comportant des échancrures à angles rentrants ou concaves (13) qui permettent de réaliser l'assemblage dans des positions excentriques ou obliques au cas où il y aurait un inconvénient ou un obstacle quelconque empêchant leur mise face à face.The approach of said frames (1A) (1B) and their coupling are facilitated by the absence of projecting angles of the frames having indentations with re-entrant or concave angles (13) which allow the assembly to be carried out in eccentric or oblique positions in case there is any inconvenience or obstacle preventing them from being placed face to face.
Selon l'exemple représenté sur les figures 4 et suivantes, dans une variante de réalisation on a doté le système latéral d'assemblages réciproques de moyens d'emboîtements verticaux comportant sur chaque côté (9-10-11 et 12) au moins un moyen femelle (22) et un moyen mâle (23), alternés et opposés deux à deux, dans une dispositicn analogue au cas exposé sur la figure 1, de préférence en "queue d'aronde" ou autres formes pour un ancrage opposé à même d'assurer l'assemblage et l'impossibilité de séparation ou d'écartement latéral ou linéaire.According to the example shown in Figures 4 and following, in an alternative embodiment, the lateral system of reciprocal assemblies has been provided with vertical interlocking means comprising on each side (9-10-11 and 12) at least one means female (22) and male means (23), alternating and opposite two by two, in a similar arrangement to the case shown in Figure 1, preferably in "dovetail" or other forms for anchoring opposite to same '' ensure the assembly and the impossibility of separation or lateral or linear spacing.
De manière supplémentaire, les côtés des moyens d'assemblage (22) et (23) ont des facettes ou biseautages (24) (25) respectivement, pour assurer la précision des emboîtages réciproques et faciliter le raccordement dans le montage vertical mentionné.Additionally, the sides of the assembly means (22) and (23) have facets or bevels (24) (25) respectively, to ensure the accuracy of the reciprocal interlockings and to facilitate connection in the vertical assembly mentioned.
La figure 4 montre en outre un bâti à accouplements mixtes à la boîte de raccordement encastrée. Il comporte sur deux côtés des rainures oblongues (8), pour un montage traditionnel, et d'autres rainures latérales avec des trous de passage (8'), pour un montage à l'aide de boulons internes.Figure 4 further shows a frame with mixed couplings to the recessed connection box. It has on two sides oblong grooves (8), for traditional mounting, and other lateral grooves with through holes (8 '), for mounting using internal bolts.
La figure 5, est un format de bâti du type et aux caractéristiques d'assemblage du précédent, mais avec des moyens latéraux d'accouplement (8) à rainure traditionnelle sur tous ses côtés.Figure 5 is a frame format of the type and assembly characteristics of the previous one, but with lateral coupling means (8) with traditional groove on all its sides.
La figure 6 nous montre un format de bâti, selon la solution de la figure 4, pour un seul élément ou bloc de mécanisme électrique, la figure 7 représentant une solution pour prises de courant.Figure 6 shows us a frame format, according to the solution of Figure 4, for a single element or block of electrical mechanism, Figure 7 showing a solution for sockets.
N'importe laquelle de ces solutions qui serait requise pour l'installation des mécanismes électriques, peut être adoptée, évidemment, avec le bâti de la figure 1 qui correspond à l'objet principal et essentiel de l'invention.Any of these solutions that would be required for the installation of electrical mechanisms, can obviously be adopted with the frame of Figure 1 which corresponds to the main and essential object of the invention.
